a new pair of socks

These socks were four years in the making. And the finished timing just couldn't have been more perfect. Fall has blown in and has me feeling completely giddy.

I wanted them super slouchy. The pair that is worn in the mornings and evenings. Thrown on in the autumn months before I get out the much needed Uggs for winter days.

The yarn was gifted to me from my dear friend, Sifis. I met Sifis first on line through his flickr groups. And then I met him in person when my mom and sisters and I were visiting his beautiful country, Greece. Sifis owns a lovely yarn shop in Athens that has been in the family for three generations. Established in 1935. That just makes my heart warm and makes these socks just that much more special. A little bit of that amazing trip and his world, knit into each stitch.
